Think the majority of us are losing sight of the realism in this story. It's all well and good saying it's a stupid move and that he should have come to us instead, but after playing for Blackburn...occasionally...for the last 5 years, he would be earning quite a bit and a darn sight more than we can seemingly afford to pay him. To those who label this as a stupid move, what else was he meant to do? Aberdeen clearly wanted him there and with their season starting next week I think it is, he would want to get involved straight away. Best to him.
